Calls - Listening via Individual Nodes no longer available

[Shawnlin20]

This is so frustrating. All law tac are blocked. And they will not change the tag. Any other suggestions on how to get it unblocked?

You can't get it "unblocked" because it's Broadcastify policy not to allow certain tags such as Law Tac to be broadcast publicly. And no, the dbadmins are absolutely not going to change tags just so you can listen, that's absurd and any dbadmin found doing so should be removed from that role without hesitation.

It is being broadcast publicly. You just cant add it to a playlist.

Nope. Frequencies/talkgroups with the Law Tac and Law Talk service tags are not broadcast publicly in Calls; Law Dispatch is the only law enforcement service tag that is permitted to be broadcast publicly.

Unless of course you're trying to make the point that the talkgroups are being broadcast publicly in the sense that if you were listening with a scanner you could hear them locally. Well yes, of course, but this thread is about the Broadcastify Calls platform, and so what is available over the airwaves vs what is permitted on the Broadcastify platform per the terms of service are two completely separate things.

tl;dr You won't be able to listen to anything tagged Law Tac and Law Talk on Broadcastify

Become a node provider for the system, and then you’ll be able to listen to everything on the system. Otherwise, as indicated, we do not make available to the general public law tactical and law talk talk groups.

This is what i was hearing.

Tennessee Advanced Communications Network (TACN) - All Calls Live

Trunked System: Tennessee Advanced Communications Network (TACN) - All Received Calls

You can't track it. We'll play ALL calls on a trunked system live, but you cannot add it to a playlist, and you cannot track it by itself live.

We're starting to beat a dead horse here dude.

We'll play ALL calls on a trunked system live

My bad, I either completely forgot or never paid attention to the fact that all service tags are fair game when listening live. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Only when listening live to an entire trunked system.

Remember, the reason why we removed the ability to listen to an individual node is because an individual node might intermittently carry talkgroups as part of a larger trunked system - which creates an issue where someone might expect an node to carry a talkgroup but it doesn't.

That is the original point of this thread.

Shawnlin20 is upset because he can't add a law tac talkgroup to a playlist. We've explained multiple times why, he's still upset, not sure what to do about that, but he'll have to get over it and move on to another aggravation in his life. Or provide a calls node. Or get his own radio where he has complete control over what he is allowed to monitor.

Im not upset, I was confused as to why it was allowed one way to listen and not another. Im not familiar with the whole Node thing so I apologize. And I am a user on the TACN system so I do monitor myself.
